3. No, America elected a smart man, and his color didn't matter. That's
the juice. And I think it's terrific!

15. I think that you are agreeing with the OP essentially
Edited on Wed Nov-05-08 01:31 AM by XOKCowboy
and I agree with you both. I grew up in the land of segregated schools, toilets, water fountains, etc. To think that we've evolved as a country enough to elect the best man for the job despite his skin color is truly amazing.

In 8 years I hope that we can do the same thing for a woman. Not just any woman but the BEST woman for the job. How old will Barbara Boxer be then??

6. Hey, he's half white too...
Give us something for us white folks to celebrate, ok...

Seriously I don't care what color the guy is.

But it's big for black folks, I understand that.

12. He's black, he's white, he's been poor, he's been rich, he's America.
He is the best of all of us. I'm so happy for him and for this nation, so proud for him and of him. He's got a tough job ahead of him but together we can pull out of this. Yes we can.
